a horse at sight, and who are not slow at

Suppose A sells a horse for 500 to B. Then
in turn sells him TO for $40, and the
animal dies. What does each make or losei
The problem looks simple, but it is not In
the first place, A had stolen the horse His
profit would naturally he 800. A difficulty
presents itself just here, for B paid A in
counterfeit money, while c paid B by a note.
was indicted for passing counterfeit money.
In revenge he had A arrested for stealing the
horse, and both went to the pen. To add to
the complications, ID, the real owner Of the
horse, came along and claimed the hide and
hoofs The claim was disputed by G, and
consequently upon the ensuing argument Cs

to collect it. c compromised the matter by
licking the lawyer, and, grabbing the note,
